Sorry about the mess

Today I’m going through my old posts and making sure they work as intended with the new theme. This might result in some bugs and weird behavior during the day, but it will soon stabilize.

iOS permission dialogs – Marco.org

posted this on

Dialogs can be done well in many cases, avoiding the barrage. They’re only shown when the app requests access to the protected resources, and only the first time. Conscientious developers can usually avoid showing multiple dialogs in a row by only showing them when the data is needed — for instance, I don’t ask for location access unless (and until) a customer selects the automatic-dark-mode setting.1

Marco Arment writes about the permission dialogs in iOS and Android and muses about what’s a good way to solve the various problems that too many dialogs can result in.

Tumblr however has gotten this very right, in my opinion. Therefore I’ve launched a tumblr account (henrikcarlsson.tumblr.com) to collect all kinds of awesome stuff that I want to share and that I’ll hopefully include in this blog some way, some day.

So feel free to visit Henrik Carlson’s tumblr to see what kind of stuff I currently want to share. (Or as usual, follow me on twitter, @synvila.

John Gruber writes a great article about Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs Biography, and about five simple words that could easily be used as a replacement for Apple’s “Think different”-tagline.
